    Seaweed, clams, and all the rest! Harvesting, drying, recipes, ecology, and natural history adventures in the low low tides. Downeast Maine is famous for our 22-foot tides, and the cold Labrador current creates extraordinary algal abundance.

    We will help you obtain the proper license for harvesting. Lodging provided, paid work available for committed harvesters.
